Cold-Drawn Seamless Stainless Steel Pipe: A Comprehensive Guide

Discover high-quality stainless steel cold-drawn seamless pipes, engineered for superior strength, durability, and precision. Ideal for industrial applications, these pipes offer excellent corrosion resistance and seamless performance.


What IS Production process?

  • Raw material preparation: Hot-rolled finished pipes or semi-finished pipes, extruded pipes and welded pipes are usually used as raw materials.

  • Re-inspection: Strictly inspect the raw materials to ensure that their material, size and surface quality meet the production requirements.

  • Peeling: Remove defects on the surface of round steel by lathe peeling or whirlwind cutting.

  • Cutting: Cut the round steel into appropriate lengths according to process requirements.

  • Centering: Find the center point of one end of the round steel on the cross-arm drilling machine and make a sample hole, and then perform centering operations.

  • Heating: Use a gas-fired inclined bottom furnace or a gas-fired box furnace to heat the round steel.

  • Perforation: The heated round steel is perforated by the perforating unit and air compressor, and the perforated rough pipe will enter the water pool for sufficient cooling.

  • Pickling: Pickle the perforated rough pipe to remove the oxide scale and impurities on its surface.

  • Cold rolling (cold drawing): After rolling on the cold rolling mill, the size and length are adjusted through continuous cold deformation.

  • Degreasing: Remove the rolling mill oil attached to the inner wall and outer surface of the steel pipe during rolling.

Heat treatment: It is carried out in a natural gas solution heat treatment furnace to restore the plasticity of the material through recrystallization and reduce the deformation resistance of the metal.

  • Straightening: Straighten the bent rough pipe.

  • Pipe cutting (sizing): According to the production plan, the straightened rough pipe is cut and cut.

  • Finished product pickling/passivation: The steel pipe after cutting is pickled to form an oxide protective film.

  • Finished product inspection: It includes multiple links such as surface inspection, eddy current detection, ultra-detection, water pressure and air pressure detection.

  • Packaging and warehousing: After passing the inspection, it is packaged and marked with information such as specifications and production batch number.


Manufacturing process of Cold-drawn Tube

  • Cold rolling process: Using the cold pilger method, the tube is deformed under compressive stress, which is particularly suitable for processing high-hardness alloy materials and special stainless steel that is difficult to cold draw.

  • Cold drawing process: The tube blank is stretched through a die to reduce its diameter and increase its wall thickness.

  • Heat treatment process: Vacuum bright annealing (hydrogen annealing) is used in an oxygen-free environment, which can effectively reduce the hardness of the material, eliminate magnetism and improve corrosion resistance.

  • Pickling process: The process of pre-pickling with sulfuric acid solution, manual scrubbing, and H₂SO₄-HNO₃-HCl three-acid pickling is used.


Production equipment

  • Perforating equipment: perforating unit and air compressor.

  • Cold rolling equipment: cold rolling mill.

  • Cold drawing equipment: chain cold drawing machine and hydraulic cold drawing machine.

  • Straightening equipment: vertical straightening machine, horizontal straightening machine and vertical hydraulic press.

  • Heat treatment equipment: natural gas solution heat treatment furnace.


Packaging method

  • Oil-coated packaging: prevent contamination and damage during transportation and storage.

  • Marking information: mark the specifications, production batch number and other information on the steel pipe.

  • Bundling packaging: pack the steel pipes after bundling.


Conclusion

Stainless steel cold-drawn seamless pipe is renowned for its superior strength, precision, and corrosion resistance. Ideal for demanding industrial applications, it offers durability and reliability.
